Just Add Glam

the San Francisco lifestyle blog by JENNIFER HENRY-NOVICH

October 29, 2012 / FASHION

Happy Birthday

Dress: Alexander McQueen, similar by Alexander McQueen, McQ, and Clover Canyon // Heels: Vince Camuto, similar here // Hat: DIY, cap from ASOS // Ring: Banana Republic, similar here // Necklace: unknown, similar here // Nails: OPI William Tell Me About It

Ladies and gentlemen, a very special post for you today…Happy birthday to me and my little blog, Just Add Glam!  Its kind of crazy how fast this year has flown by but I am so grateful for all of the wonderful people I have met who have inspired me to share my ideas on fashion and style.  My family, friends, and fans are what keep me inspired so thank you for a great year…and here’s to another one!

Another year older, but my inner child still likes to shine though sometimes…like when we are on the way to lunch and all I want to do is go climb on a nearby train (in and dress and heels, obviously).  This Alexander McQueen dress was an early birthday present to myself and I’m thrilled to have found it.  I found this beautiful printed dress on sale–marked down from I don’t even want to know how much–for $79 which practically made me faint from excitement.  To match a gorgeously dramatic dress, I added a veil in the form of my DIY Jil Sander-inspired knit cap.

    I’m still dumbfounded at what you paid fr this beauty. We need to do some hunting together because I’m hopping your shopping luck will rub off on me 😉 Beyond that having seen some of the pieces separately doesn’t do this entire look justice. You are killin’ it! The backdrop it AMAZE. What tracks are these. It’s the perfect location and the DIY beenie the bestest accessory ever! I can’t pick a favorite photo… I just can’t…. too good

    You definitely strike gold with this fab print MCQ dress and made the glam net and beanie combo so much more wearable for the faint hearted.

I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard

Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great s Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great stuff for hosting and gifting this year and the last thing I need is it walking off my front porch. This season, to make sure my new silverware and champagne flutes make it to my holiday table for hosting, I’m having all of my Amazon orders delivered to my garage thanks to my @myQconnect Smart Garage Control and @AmazonKey. It’s awesome to be able to watch my delivery live from the myQ app when I’m not home to make sure my packages are secure and locked up when it’s all done. Cheers!

Holiday shopping without the stress of package the Holiday shopping without the stress of package theft! 👏🏻 For holiday shopping this year, l've #partnered with @myQconnect to enable all of my packages to be delivered straight to my garage thanks to the myQ Smart Garage Control and @AmazonKey. I love how this option helps keep my packages secure for peace of mind. One less thing to deal with during an already busy season!

#AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the #AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the most joy is creating beautiful spaces that I get to share with others! SWIPE for before and afters!

I love the design process of coming up with a design in my mind and working to make it a reality for a beautiful escape to share. One question we get a lot is “how can I find a place of my own and get started hosting?” Thanks to @airbnb I’m excited to share that @airbnb is introducing opportunities for renters through Airbnb-friendly apartments. You can break into hosting by renting an Airbnb-friendly apartment where you can live full-time and host part-time. I love how this creates financial opportunity for those who rent to start their hosting journey in an easy-to-start way!
